<p>Thank you, chestergumbo, for your advices. In my career education day, I found out about engineering manager. It said that you need to be an engineer, work as an engineer, and earn a MBA in order to be an engineering manager. So basically I guess it's the same thing with business administration but relates much to engineering. And I was taught that this kinda job makes a lot, $110k a year (national average).</p>
<p>I kind of have the same interests with yours in management. Do you think accounting is a lucrative choice? How much do you expect to earn to be an entry-level accountant? Is it easy for you to find an accounting job? Is it the best paid job among the managing jobs? And do you think it'd be odd if I go to Tech and major in management instead of engineering? Thank you again chestergumbo.</p>
<p>It's not uncommon for engineers to get a MBA and get better paid. But if you really want to make big money, finance is the way. Go work for an Investment bank! If you have what it takes, you can easily make $200K plus by the time you are in your late twenties. But the competition is very tough and you work 18 hour days all year long.</p>
<p>Accounting is somwhere in the middle. Initially, your entry-level job probably gonna get you $50 to $55 k depending on your location and the size of the firm. Partners at small firms gets about $300K and $750 or so at a big 4 (Big 4 partners can get up to millions depending on their stick and seniority). But to become a partner in an accounting firm take a long time (12 to 14 years). While there are ample job openings, you might give it a little consideration before you think that you want to become a partner. </p>
<p>It is totally not weird or odd for you go to Tech and major in management. I chose that when I first applied! It's really growing fast and I think we are ranked only after Emory in GA. So it's a good investment for your BS degree. I would suggest you to go to Emory or some other more pretigeous school to get a MBA later on if that's what you wanted. But for now, a management major at Tech is totally normal. We actually have some famous alums who were management majors. Just go to wikipedia and look it up.</p>
<p>@chestergumbo: Thank you. I believe that I'm choosing the right path. Let's wait for Tech's decision.</p>
